Interpretation of load tests on minipiles

All our infrastructure is either on or in the ground. As a result, geotechnical engineering plays a key role in all major civil engineering projects in the UK and beyond.
ICE Proceedings: Geotechnical Engineering provides a forum for the publication of high quality, topical and relevant technical and practical papers covering all aspects of geotechnical research, design, construction and performance. The journal aims to be of interest to those civil, structural or geotechnical engineering practitioners wishing to develop a greater understanding of the influence of geotechnics on the built environment.
Geotechnical Engineering covers all aspects of geotechnical engineering including tunnelling, foundations, retaining walls, embankments, diaphragm walls, piling, subsidence, soil mechanics and geoenvironmental engineering. Presented in the form of reports, design discussions, methodologies and case records it forms an invaluable reference work, highlighting projects which are interesting and innovative.

This paper examines the results of 21 full-scale field tests on minipiles and synthesises the results into a convenient design procedure that incorporates both estimated axial displacements and soil properties. Both cohesive and cohesionless soils are included in this evaluation. For all practical purposes, the developed load–displacement relationship and the geotechnical soil properties for each minipile and soil type can be used to represent the available data well through normalised average values and empirical correlations.
